Welcome to Desktop Phreaking, a review of the best and worst phreaking
utilties for the macintosh. All of the applications have been rated from 1-5,
1 being pretty lame, and 5 being a must get...

NAME: Wardialer
TYPE: Dialer/Scanner
RATING: 3
DESCRIPTION: Dials numbers looking for modems.
COMMENTS: Not bad. Its just a basic dialer, theres nothing special about it,
it does what it says and thats about all. But it's really stable, and an
all around good dialer.

NAME: Seek and Distroy III
TYPE: Dialer/Scanner
RATING: 2
DESCRIPTION: Dials numbers looking for modems.
COMMENTS: This one really sucks. personally i dont think that its very good.
Yes it dials, and yes it finds modems, but it has all kinds of features and
winndows that it doesnt need. If they got rid of the glammer stuff, it would
probably be abit better.

NAME: Tone Decoder 2
TYPE: DTMF Decoder
RATING: 5
DESCRIPTION: Decodes touch-tones into numbers.
COMMENTS: Get this. if you have a phone number you wanna know and youve got
the recording of it being dialed, this will decode it into numbers. The only
problem is that its SHAREWARE and you MUST pay like $20 to get it registerd or
it will only decode 4 numbers of the phone number. If you have it registed it
works like a charm giving all 7 numbers.

NAME: Assault Dialer 1.0
TYPE: Dilaer/Scanner
RATING: 5
DESCRIPTION: Dials numbers looking for modems
COMMENTS: This is the best dialer ive never seen. Features random number
dialing, random intervals between calls, logs it to a seperate text file,
multiple prefix scanning...this is a killer program, get this and get it now!

NAME: Tone Generator 3
TYPE: Tone Generator
RATING: 5
DESCRIPTION: Generate Tones (quarter,2600,greenbox..etc)
COMMENTS: This is great. Makes all kinds of tones. Ive heard that this and a
newton makes a great rainbow box. Its probably one of the best tone
generators around with a simple look to it and a lot of powerful features.
Makes hundreds of tones, everything from standred DTMF to extended and
operator tones. A must get and a must have for any serious desktop phreaker.

NAME: AutoTone 3.0.1
TYPE: tone Generator

COMMENTS: Not bad. It's just another tone genenator. It's not as good as some
of the other ones, but its alright.

NAME: Demon Dialer
TYPE: Dialer/Scanner
RATING: 1
DESCRIPTION: Dials looking for modems
